Deal was in the car with Biggie after the shooting, engaging in a frantic effort to keep him conscious while en route to the hospital. He recalls that Biggie was intended to be in London but was convinced to attend a party—a decision Deal feels burdensome about, believing he could have intervened to prevent Biggie's attendance. During the party, Deal, alert to the underlying threats, positioned himself with a gun at the ready while observing a crowd peppered with Bloods gang members.

As they prepared to leave the venue, Deal reiterated his preparedness by arranging the cars for a quick exit. He even provided a weapon to an associate named Paul to bolster their security in light of the fact that he was already armed.
